Thread Name: NEFFA 02, anyone?
Subject: RE: NEFFA 02, anyone?
I was there on Saturday (day) only. I didn't seem to do anything BUT chat...and buy stuff. Played a couple of really great guitars, made by Running Dog. I only made it to one workshop (UK and US Ballads & Songs with Sandy & Caroline Paton and Dan Milner.)

I kept seeing folks I hadn't seen for a long time and talking to them for a bit. We'd go our separate ways and I'd run into someone else. It went like that all day. I still managed to miss running into Kath Westra, SongBob & Knitpick and probably loads of other folks. Saw Naemanson & Rebecca and Charlie Noble once, briefly, and never saw them again. Same with Barry Finn. I managed to wave at Animaterra and her sweetie across a room.

I REALLY wanted to go to George & Mary LaMarca's Kipling workshop, also Barry Finn's, but I just couldn't stop running into people. I'm sorry I missed all that music, but it was still good catching up.

Putting the shanty singing on at 9PM was NOT NICE. Too late for me to stay, and I wouldn't have had any voice by then if I HAD stayed. It's my only complaint, and yes, I saw the link for the evaluation form. Thanks for posting it, Jacob.
